Currently the module does not supports any type of stock level synchronization.We plan to add this functionality in a future module version.

Is it also possible to add other carriers like DHL Or TNT for dutch market ?

Shipping methods DHL and TNT is supported for Netherlands Marketplace as International Shipping. You can check it on our Demo.1) Create New Selling Profile2) In opened window select "Netherlands" Marketplace. 3) On tab "Shipping" look and all available shipping methods.

Well your module would be interesting when it has the sync option.If the module would have this option i would probably buy the module as it looks great but it needs the sync option.Will wait for a future update off your module.

Thank you for your interest to our module.

To list item to different eBay marketplaces (Spain, France, Germany and etc) module required to create separate 'Selling Profiles' that has possibility to configure shipping service including cost.

Thank you for your interest to our module. Currently we not support shipping cost based on weight. Only flat rate shipping is supported.

Adding calculated shipping in top of our priority. In next version we will implement it.

Also we plan to extend configuration for International shipping. On current version we allow customer select country where shipping is possible for all checked shipping methods. So unfortunately currently not possible set separate shipping cost for Europe and rest of the world.

Thanks for your response. I have had a play with he demo, and I am quite impressed. As we ship worldwide from ebay, we really need that third option. Any ideas how long before implementation?

In the meantime,

1) if I install the module, upload the products to ebay, can I still manually edit them on ebay tto put that third shipping option in - or while it be over ridden every time I sync?

2) We quite often have to combine purchases on ebay and send out a new invoice with ammended shipping costs - how would this work with this module?

3) As you don;t do shipping on weight, am i right in thinking that whatever item i add to ebay I have to manually add the shipping costs for regardless of what is in prestashop (I know I can group them sing profiles) - I suppose the question is really do I have to define a profile for each shipping cost, then add the appropriate items into that profile (Very messy) or if i leave the profile without shipping costs what happens? It looks like I have to have one profile for each shipping cost within each product tyope / shop category etc. This is hard to explain:( Say we have some m6 nuts, 6mm u-bolts, a plastic pipe clamp and a washer all in different categories (on ebay) but all at the same shipping cost. I will need to have 4 profiles (one for each product type all linked with the shipping cost). Then we have all the 8mm stuff - same categories but costs more to post so I will then need to create another four proflles for the new shipping cost - does that make sense?

Yes you possible edit your item on eBay. But on each synchronization that call revise for target item information is rewrite by PrestaBay module.

2) We quite often have to combine purchases on ebay and send out a new invoice with ammended shipping costs - how would this work with this module?

If you tell about combination order on eBay it supported on PrestaBay module. Created new order that has correct information about purchase.

3) As you don;t do shipping on weight, am i right in thinking that whatever item i add to ebay I have to manually add the shipping costs for regardless of what is in prestashop (I know I can group them sing profiles) - I suppose the question is really do I have to define a profile for each shipping cost, then add the appropriate items into that profile (Very messy) or if i leave the profile without shipping costs what happens?

PrestaBay module, same as eBay, required that you enter at least one shipping method. Without it item not listed to eBay. You need specify shipping methods in each "Selling Profile". This is not very usable so we plan to move all shipping settings to separate 'Shipping Template'.

Just more explanation about 'Selling Profile'. Each profile can be apply to any count of 'Selling List'. Each 'Selling List' work in two modes: first is product mapping, second category mapping.

On product mapping you select yourself what product need to send to eBay on this 'Selling List' using connected 'Selling Profile'.

On category mapping all product from selected category transfered to eBay. When new product put to category it also send to eBay, when product leave category it removed from eBay (such behavior disabled by default).

Usually you create 'Selling Profile' for each primary category on eBay where you sell items.

A couple more thoughts 1) When prestabay and ebay sync does it also update prices on ebay or just qty? 2) We have a lot of selling lists, is it possible to make it so that I can "revise" all lists together (or on selection) rather than having to go into each one to do it separately? Ta!

1) Currently we update only QTY. Also it's good idea to update also product price. We will think of possibility to implement it

2) Unfortunately latest version no support this. Currently you have possibility revise all active item in each 'Selling List' (using mass-action drop-down). Hope in next version such possibility will be available.

I need to have Shipping cost Variable to add it in custom template too.

Thank you

Thank you for your interest to our module.

Unfortunately in current version of module your requirement not available. Private listings options we will adding in next version. Other think like import shipping cost from 'PrestaShop' also will be implement but currently we can't give any estimation to this possibility.

Can you please provide more explanation for 'shipping cost' as variables for custom template. In selling profile you possible to specify more that one shipping cost for eBay listing. What information you need to show to this variables? We possible to show all available shipping cost as table. Is is suitable for you?

It wont accept the account for some reason. It allows me to confirm the account but it does not save the details in the accounts list. I have emailed them - but anyone else see this problem in the mean time?

Also - the update does not work - again anyone else have the same problem when trying to update DB?

Hi, since version 1.4.1 I can't see any difference in prestashop and ebay orders when using TAB ORDERS. Is there a possibility to change for example the text color when order is imported from ebay by prestabay?

Unfortunately we can't find PrestaShop possibility to do this. We will look what can be done connected to this problem.

As alternative solution we can return suffix to imported customer name. So for each imported order you will see customer name like: Jon Doe eBay

when are you going to support product variants? Almost every product in our shop has variants (different colors of a product) and there is currently no way to export each variant separately to Ebay nor is it possible to give customers a chance to select one variant out of many.

BR, Tom

In current version of PrestaBay we support only list such type of products as eBay variations listing. Unfortunately not all eBay marketplaces and categories allow multi-variation listings.

In the future, we plan to add possibility to list PrestaShop product with combination to eBay as different products. As a temporary solution in version 1.4 we add variable to custom description that generate all possible product combination.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

This could be a solution but when we use this name to make an invoice or send information to our carriers, he always has the name 'John Doe Ebay'. Perhaps a sign after the name (* -) or a number.

Is there a prestashop specialist who could have solution to change the textcolor when the carriername has ebay in front?

We will look closer about possible solutions to this problems. Thank you for your patience.

You are unable to list items, because you have not confirmed whether your account is for personal or business use. Go to My eBay -> Personal Information -> Account Type to confirm your account type now so that you can continue to sell.

I am unable to configure this module. It will be very helpful for me if you give me a best solution & if u can configure this module for me.

Waiting for your quick response please. It is very urgent for me.

Thanks

Involic, prestabay will make a new customer in prestashop when a product is sold via a prestabay listing. In the customer DB the password is written full , not in md5 with the cookie-key. My question is : is it possible to let prestabay make a customer like prestashop does, so with a customer welcome email and the md5 password in the DB. If the customer gets his welcome email he already has a working password for the shop.

We look to possibility to implement such feature as additional option. But this functionality is not in the highest priority.
